objective pronoun

Receives the action

An objective pronoun is one that functions as the object of a verb or preposition rather than as the subject.

In English, the objective pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us, them, and whom: Give it to her, between you and me, whom did you call?

These contrast with subjective pronouns like I, he, she, we, they, and who.
